with all of that said, let's get into my favorite organizational hacks.
So in our new kitchen, we spent a lot of time planning it and we decided to put in way more
drawers than cupboards because it's so handy for things like plates, pots and pans. It makes it
really easy to access everything. And what makes a drawer even better is if it has dividers in it. So
we thought long and hard about any of the storage issues we have, what we would want to store,
how we'd want to divide it all up. So this is our junk drawer and we had proper wooden dividers
made for it so it can store all of our stuff. Candles, batteries, pens, all of it. Of course,
you don't have to get proper wooden dividers made. You can get great options from Amazon and Ikea,
and I'm going to show you that in a sec. But as we were making a new kitchen,
we had the opportunity to have these inserts. So we made some for our tea and coffee station
and also for our lunch bags and water bottles as well. We have so many for school and for sports.
So this has been such a great solution. But drawer dividers work really well with clothes
as well. It's especially good for small items like baby clothes or the things you keep in your top
drawer. So this was a set of four that I got on Amazon and now it works perfectly in this drawer.
There's a place for vests, for underwear, for socks, for ties, and then you can take a drawer
that looks like this and you can make it look like this. These are really inexpensive. I'll
link some down below, but now there's a really lovely section for all of the socks and then
also a place for all of the underwear. So I recently reorganized one of my son's top
drawers and it has made such a huge difference. It feels really organized. It's easy for him to
pick out things. It's easy for me to put all the laundry away like this. And then I also really
love clear storage for bathroom drawers. So this is my son's bathroom drawer. I got a big set of
eight of these little holders on Amazon very reasonably. And I also recently got some for
our own suites in here. We have quite a deep drawer and all of my products were
just in that drawer and it was a real mess. So I ordered these high clear boxes from the
home edit on John Novis and it holds all of my products really nicely. And then I also found
some stackable clear storage as well. So you can put things that you use less on the bottom
and then you can stack those up. I could even probably stack another two on top of that.
But this has made all the difference in our bathroom. It feels super organized now even
though I've got a ton of stuff in there. And I also recently put these into my vanity unit as
well. All of my makeup was pretty much everywhere and I finally decided to sort it out. And I
ordered this clear storage. I wish I could say to you that I measured the drawer and ordered it
all specifically, but I really didn't. I ordered it all and hoped for the best. And I also got
this tilted storage that I also wanted to show you in a sec. But these are brilliant. I have
one for brushes, one for lips, one for eyes, and one for face. And it's made such a huge
difference. Everything feels really organized. And I also got this tilted storage because I
thought it would be nice to display the products that I use every single day.
And it is extendable. So on that, I've got my foundation, my concealer, my blusher,
my eyeshadow, and it's all there ready to go for the day. And if we ever go away,
I literally just pretty much pack that, that I use all of the time. And this tilted storage is also
brilliant for your spice drawer if you don't just want to have them all sat up. Because I actually
had a bit of extra room in this drawer. I thought it would be really nice to lay it all on its side
and it's just so satisfying to see it look like this. And I've bought these from [inaudible
00:05:01] and I liked the labeling on the jars so much that I just kept it the way that it is. But
yeah, it looks really nice the way that you can see what everything is. And I also really wanted
to show you these extendable drawer dividers. These are brilliant, especially for clothes. And
you can get them in all different colors. They come in wood, I just got to wait to match my
drawers. But you just pull the thing up, they extend to fit any size and they're brilliant,
especially if you like to [inaudible 00:05:29] your clothes like this, which is basically
when you fold them so they're all facing upwards. This has transformed this drawer,
because now I've got my pajamas, my leggings, my T-shirts all separate and I feel like I can
fit so much more into them now as well. And I've also loved using this in this cleaning drawer,
because before, the products were just in there, they did look really messy, but having them all
divided up means they stay straight. It just looks really organized. And I know this is next level,
but I love it. And I also really love these stick on mop holders or broom holders.
And they also have a little hook on them. These are renter friendly. You can just peel the sticker
off the back, easily put them anywhere. This is in a cleaning cupboard. And I've got my duster and
I've got a mop as well. And I've even used them as a place for my loft handle thing. It was so ugly,
but it was always falling over in the cupboard. But now that I have that special holder for it,
it brings me so much joy that it has a place. I also love command hooks as the storage solution.
This is for my hats. I just stuck one onto our sideboard. There's also one for a dog lead. And
then as you walk in, there's three on the wall for our children's three school bags that used to
just sit on the floor, but now they're up and out of the way and it looks so much more organized.
And if you have a back of a door that you don't really use, I would love to recommend it to you
guys as a storage place. You can get these great door hangers. This one has five sections on it,
but even if you just got a shoe organizer that goes on a door, they're brilliant too. But for
this, I put all of our hats, coats, scarves into it. We have so many as a family of five and we
actually really need them, especially recently when it snowed. So I decided to organize it all.
So we've got hats, we've got gloves, scarves, all of it in here and it's hidden away in our
cupboard, but it's such a handy place to store things like that. And recently for our pantry,
I bought this stair storage and I love it so much. It's
clear. And you can also get an extender for it. So you can buy this second piece and then you can
extend it to the size of your cupboard. So this one here is going to be for cans. So I'm literally
just going to display everything. And because it's on different levels, you can see everything that
you have and it looks super organized. I've had people walk into my pantry and go, "Oh my god,
that is so extra.: But if you have the space, it's really satisfying and it's really functional as
well, a great way to store things like this. And then I also really wanted to recommend to
you guys baskets in general. I've talked about this before on my channel, but baskets are so
brilliant for so many things, for shoes, for kids' stuff, I found these two online. One says mess,
one says stuff and the kids keep their fidget toys, their Rubix cubes, all stuff like that.
I've got them in each child's room and they're brilliant because they can easily chuck things
away, but it's organized chaos. And I also love things...we had an issue with all the fancy
dressed costumes. We had so many and I kept trying to hang them up. And then I thought,
"What's the point?" So we bought this wooden storage and we keep all of that in there. And
then we also got this little house bag that we keep all of their stuffed animals in as well. And
I also love to use trays. So sometimes if you have an item on the counter and it feels a bit lost,
if you just stick it on a tray, this one, this one was from H and M home, it feels like all
of a sudden it has a place and it looks really smart. I've also put one on our coffee table.
And when I have things in this area, say my laptop, pen and paper, my phone, the remote,
anything like that, as soon as you put it on a tray, it just automatically looks organized
and it has a little place. So I also wanted to show you that. Another area that I think a lot
of people struggle with is the under the sink storage. And in the past I've showed you guys
the extendable attis shelving, which I still love, but this sink is so wide it wouldn't
actually fit. So I found this on Amazon and what I liked about it, is it has a pullout drawer on
the bottom. So if I really like it, I'm going to order a second one. But it was super easy to
build and I'm going to put small things on the top, larger things down the bottom of it. And
it's really helped to organize this area here. I've also got a few other baskets and a lazy
Susan as well. I'm just trying to put my scrubbies at the top. This is what it looked like before,
a total mess as you can see. And this is what it looks like now. So it's definitely a bit more
organized. And when we had this kitchen built, we also put these handy holders on the doors
is this tiny little lint bin. This holds loads because you don't get too much lint. But I just
think it's adorable and it sits on the surface. And I also wanted to show you the organized heaven
in my pantry. If you haven't seen my pantry tour, I'll link it down below. But I decanted
all of our dry ingredients into these gorgeous jars, which I found on Amazon. I loved how the
lids matched the interior of these cupboards. But yeah, I'm super pleased with it. I've had quite
a few questions about used by dates, but in this house of the five of us, nothing lasts that long.
And I suppose you could tape the used by dates onto the bottom of the jars if you really wanted
to. But I'm so pleased with how this has turned out and it's a very functional.
Okay guys. So that is it for this video, but I hope you really enjoyed it. Let me
